On the other hand, everyone needs a break. I've said this many times to younger friends and colleagues: there's biology at work. Before the birth of my son, I worried. I like kids ok, but babies, well, they never did much for me. I thought it'd take a couple of years for a baby to become loveable. But no. As soon as he hit the outside air, he was the most beautiful baby I ever saw. In fact, I was almost embarrassed to show his pictures to friends. Surely they'd realize how blessed I'd been, how spectacular my baby was and how mundane theirs. Biology. Now, I look at those first pictures and see... a baby. Biology. A wonderful thing. Meanwhile, if my book inspires you to consider surgery, and you want input, or an eager ear, let me know. I have a blog now, too.
